Research notes

A THIRTEENTH STRETCH FARM, and the only SEPTEMBER one: Klein Sleutlefontein, surveyed for JOHANNES STEIN, titled 15 Apr 1841 on Bf.W.Q.6-5. Note the VOLUME - 6, not 5. The August 1833 batch runs through volume 5 (folios 6 to 43); this September survey and Varsche Fontein's 6-23 are in volume 6, so the volumes appear to follow the survey season rather than the grant day, which was the same for all of them. FILE NOT ON DISK - the image never reached sources/diagrams. [31 Jul 2026] ID COLLISION REPAIRED. This diagram was assigned DOC-0091 in the 30 Jul inbox, but that id was afterwards issued again to a TANAP corpus inventory. Ids are permanent and never reused, so the diagram takes a NEW id here and the old one keeps whatever it now holds. The five SG diagrams of the Sleutelfontein group had no document rows at all until now, which is why their sources sat unreferenced and their files sat on disk with nothing pointing at them.

[1 Aug 2026, found by a source-file audit] THE SCAN WAS ON DISK ALL ALONG, under the wrong id. It was filed as DOC-0091/DOC-0092, which are the TANAP estate inventories MOOC8/36.35 and MOOC8/32.46, so two ids were each naming two different documents and this row's source_file sat empty. The content had been read and is in the parcel and ownership rows; what was missing was the image on the page. Renamed to its own id and wired up. The audit that caught it compares every file under sources/ against what documents.csv claims, and is worth re-running whenever a batch of scans is filed.

The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.
